tonight about foods so many of us eat every day. bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat, classified in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos. they can cause cancer, according to the world health organization, and that's not all. the who advisory commit fee tinding that unprocessed red meat is probably cars jennic. the report, which was based on an analysis of more than 800 studies asserts that simply eating 50 grams of processed meat each day can increase the risk of colon cancer by 18%. here's some food for thought. the 50 grams cited in the report is the equivalent of 1.8 oubsnces of meat. a typical deli sandwich has more than 4.5 ounces of meat. this is what 1.8 ounces looks like. keep in mind that according to the report, only 34,000 of all cancer deaths could be attributed to diets high in processed meat. that's out of the 8.2 million deaths caused worldwide by kants kaenser in 2012, compared to a

5:31 pm

million deaths a year due to tobacco smoking. the panel did say red meat does have nutritional value. but the meat industry is crying foul. the north american meat institute telling abc news in a statement that classifying red and processed meat askancer hazards defies common sense. the american cancer society has long recommended that we limit our meat intake and also suggests that you not fry it or david? >> let's get right to richard besser, because we saw 50 grams there. that is not a lot of meat at all. >> reporter: it's not. for an average american, if you are eating two slices of bacon or hot dog a day, that's going to raise your lifetime risk of colon cancer from 5% up to about 6%. it's real, but it's not a very large number. >> that's a hot dog a day. and you've been telling us all day in the news room that moderation, which you have said, is really the key here. you don't have to give up meat.

5:32 pm

moderation is what it's about. i like the mediterranean diet. but if you are a big meat eater, it's about limiting the amount of processed meat you are eating. substituting fish or chicken. and when you are cooking your meat, don't grill it. that can release car sin jens. if you broil it or bake it, that's the way to go. >> rich besser, you'll stay on this. a lot of viewers will have questions after this tonight. thank you. in the meantime, we turn to the race for 2016 and new signs of potential trouble for donald trump. new numbers tonight. the third poll in a row now showing trump losing to dr. ben carson in iowa by double digits, 14 points. but trump is now saying about those polls, as this evening, he's taking heat for what he calls, quote, a small loan from his father when he was young. $1 million loan. abc's tom llamas on the campaign trail. >> reporter: tonight, don't believe the hype or the polls. >> i'm number two in iowa. i said, i don't believe it.

5:34 pm

>> a couple of months ago, i said something which he took as an attack on his faith, and i apologized for that. i hope he will have the same grace. >> reporter: but trump refuses. and today, new comments on religion getting attention, saying women in muslim countries appreciate their customs and some want to keep their faces covered. >> in fact, it's easy. you don't have to put on makeup. look how beautiful everyone looks. wouldn't it be easy? i'll tell you, if i was a woman -- i'm ready, darling. let's go. >> reporter: and david, despite those poll numbers, trump is not giving up on iowa. he's hitting the hawkeye tomorrow night, his last stop before the debate on wednesday. david? >> tom llamas, thank you. and now to the other republican facing challenges tonight. jeb bush. a rare moment of public frustration over the weekend, after news of those massive payroll cuts for his campaign. tonight, three generations of the bush family now gather

" " jenna: good evening and thank you for joining us tonight im jenna rehnstrom tim and im tim seaman a ninety five billion dollar us industry got some potentially bad news today. jenna: the world health organization

5:58 pm

released a report stating that redand processed ats can increaead your risk for cancer. abc9 reporter elisa raffa spoke with both representatives of the meat industry and physicians and has more. elisa on cam the world health organization reviewed over eight hundred studies and released a report this morning on a not t surprising cancer risk. nat sound: grease splatterininbacon in pan.bacon. a favorite breakfast, burger, any time treat. but monday the world health organization released a report saying processed meats like bacon, along with red meats like beef and pork, can increase your risk for cancer. twenty-two experts from ten countries reviewed over eight hundred studies and concluded that: an additional 100 grams of red meat per day raises risk of colorectal cancnc by seventeen percent. an addddional 50 grams s processed meat daily raises risk by eighteeeepercent. and thirty-four thousand cancer deaths a year worldwide attribute to diets high in processed meats. but perhaps the most important take away from this report is... correlation is not causation. "this is still just correlation. the exact mechanism of potentially causing cancer is not known, and so with that interplay of each individual persos risk factor, it's very hard to determine on an individual

basis" says dr. sarahbligh, unitypoint clinic gastroenterologistst dr. bligh h ys cancer is complex. causes are a combination of genetic risks, environmental exposures, and other foods one might consume. "what is says in general is not even what is your risk of cancer if you consume meat. it says... your risk versus somebody who doesn't. and so you have a potentially slight increase in your risk. but, that doesn't mean every person who has this increased risk will get cancer, and it doesn't mean that those who don't have this increased riskskon't get cancer. for instance, smoking, many people do smoke and don't get cancer and other people have gotten lung cancer who've never had exposure to smoke" says dr. sarahbligh, unitypoint clinic gastroenterologist. so what should we take away from this? moderation. a recommended serving of meat is no more than three ounces in a sitting, a note to keep in mind that sometimes when dining out, you may be served more than that portion, "in general, what i'd recommend as a physicicn, with all things, moderation is best. and perhaps, making this a category of food that you consume on a less than daily basis" says dr. sarahbligh, unitypoint clinic gastroenterologist. elisa ondr. bligh says she wasn't surprised by this report this morning, the effects of
